About The Position

As a member of the Radeon Technologies Group, you will help define and deliver industry-leading SoC designs. As a Principal SoC Architect, you will lead the translation of product requirements into SoC-level architecture, collaborating with CPU, GPU, memory controller, IP and SOC design, physical design, and product engineering teams. You will own SoC-level features such as clocking, reset, power architecture, and performance planning, driving first-pass silicon success and delivering best-in-class power and performance.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in SoC architecture, system design, or integration.
• Deep expertise in clocking, reset distribution, and power intent definition (UPF/CPF).
• Proven track record of low-power SoC design (clock gating, power gating, DVFS, multi-voltage domains).
• Strong understanding of CPU, GPU, and memory subsystem interfaces and integration challenges.
• Experience with SoC-level performance modeling, power analysis, and design trade-offs.
• Working knowledge of RTL design and verification flows, including integration and signoff.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and cross-team collaboration skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams through first-pass silicon success.

Responsibilities

• Define SoC-level architecture by translating product requirements into detailed specifications.
• Own SoC-specific elements including clocking, reset, power domains, and low-power design strategies.
• Drive the definition and implementation of SoC performance and power features to meet aggressive product targets.
• Partner with CPU, GPU, and memory controller IP teams to ensure architectural alignment of features and clean interoperability and integration.
• Lead cross-functional design reviews and influence decisions across design, verification, and physical implementation.
• Provide technical leadership during performance modeling, power analysis, and trade-off studies.
• Guide post-silicon bring-up efforts to validate SoC features and deliver production-quality results.
• Mentor and coach junior engineers, providing technical direction and fostering best practices in SoC design.

Benefits

• AMD benefits at a glance.
